Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell Show podcast next week. You know, I'm excited
Speaker 1: to the fact that next Thursday or week today, the
Speaker 1: show marks two years, which is incredible. How for me
Speaker 1: personally it's gone so quickly. It's been an insane two years,
Speaker 1: but most exciting to have followen two years of my
Speaker 1: life and of living here in Australia's big new adventure.
Speaker 1: But the show is two years old next Thursday, which
Speaker 1: is incredible. But then tomorrow throwing me shade is Patsy
Speaker 1: who marks ten years here and surviving in Breakfast Radio
Speaker 1: is a real You've got to be a rare breed.
Speaker 1: Patsy is a survivor in so many ways of that.
Speaker 1: But ten years tomorrow, which Patsy, We've got to mark
Speaker 1: this on the show. Ten year of Patsy on Gold
Speaker 1: is amazing. Do you feel proud? You most do.
Speaker 2: I do feel proud because there's a lot, not only professionally,
Speaker 2: that's happened in that time. And I've got to say
Speaker 2: I'm having the time of my life working with this
Speaker 2: team right now. This is absolutely the best, hands down,
Speaker 2: and I'm not just saying it.
Speaker 3: Yeah you said indeed.
Speaker 1: And now me, yeah, no, I.
Speaker 3: Did not this.
Speaker 2: This is just beyond my dreams what I'm doing right now,
Speaker 2: to get to do this at such an honor and
Speaker 2: a privileged but personally as well, Like I've got married. Oh,
Speaker 2: hang on, no, I haven't got married.
Speaker 1: In had to say it. So you've got two husbands.
Speaker 1: This is breaking news. We didn't know about that.
Speaker 2: Bigger massas for this show.
Speaker 3: But no, you know, I've had my little Audie in.
Speaker 2: That time, and a lot's happened in that time. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it's gone fast ten years.
Speaker 1: So and what turned up in the post yesterday, I
Speaker 1: just need everyone to stop what you're doing right now,
Speaker 1: think about Radio Gold is a big legendary station here
Speaker 1: in this city. Right It's been here for years. It's
Speaker 1: the number one radio station. This is the number one
Speaker 1: breakfast show. So you know, we're thinking if someone has
Speaker 1: served the company, the radio station for almost ten years,
Speaker 1: ten years tomorrow, what did they send you?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: I got very excited because you usually just get bills
Speaker 2: in the mail. So I got this lovely parcel yesterday
Speaker 2: from Gold and I thought, oh, I wonder what this
Speaker 2: could be. And I'd totally forgotten about the anniversary that
Speaker 2: hadn't hadn't remembered it opened it and in it was
Speaker 2: the gold foil balloon with the logo on it, you
Speaker 2: know that you get when you clock up an anniversary
Speaker 2: in there, but of course it was deflated. It was
Speaker 2: just the foil balloon, the round foil balloon and the
Speaker 2: bit of string to tie it up with.
Speaker 1: They sent Pats to see your Crystal clear a deflated.
Speaker 3: Balloon for her yourself, you blow it.
Speaker 1: Up yourself, Okay, yep, you do it.
Speaker 3: It's so we put it on the Facebook page.
Speaker 1: Paths. I can't laugh. Actually, I'm only bringing this up
Speaker 1: today as a kind of therapy. But someone's had to
Speaker 1: fold it, shove it in the post and think, yeah,
Speaker 1: it be ten years Pats Gold employees.
Speaker 2: In the back office to compliment slippers.
Speaker 1: There's like well done from management or no nothing. I
Speaker 1: didn't know this otherwise I'm not even sure I would
Speaker 1: have brought it up. This is really just this is
Speaker 1: this bleak, yes.
Speaker 2: A lonely sad balloons.
Speaker 3: I actually think it would have been less insulting to
Speaker 3: get nothing and just didn't remember.
Speaker 1: You could understand with lockdown or what's going on the world,
Speaker 1: Corona is right off to that. But the fact that
Speaker 1: someone's gone out of the way to make let's not
Speaker 1: forget I know, if she's working from home. Let's make
Speaker 1: sure date for diary we send it a couple of
Speaker 1: days before the anniversary. Let's make sure we do send
Speaker 1: her something. And then folded, deflated helium balloon. Basically no compliments, slip.
Speaker 2: No card, no slip, no slip.
Speaker 1: You and the air and helium as well. Imagine you've
Speaker 1: got loads of helium supplies out how many way out
Speaker 1: west where you go to the petrol station, air water, helium.
Speaker 2: Maybe they thought I've got enough hot air to blow
Speaker 2: it up myself. It was like a Degas station anniversary present.
Speaker 2: It's like there you go, there's all the bits you
Speaker 2: put it together.
Speaker 1: I don't know that is that's something else ten years
Speaker 1: of working on this radio station, all on breakfast.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, there was a bit of drive in there
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 1: I didn't know about the drive years. Yeah, is that
Speaker 1: before we came along. When you're under that toast, they
Speaker 1: shove you in that closet here and we had to
Speaker 1: turn the light and go, who is that lady in there? Growling?
Speaker 1: Because she did the news. So you just got a
Speaker 1: deflate a balloon that's it. Yeah, Well, tomorrow on the show,
Speaker 1: we're going to celebrate ten years off. You need to
Speaker 1: write a jack song, Oh.
Speaker 3: Yes, and then a good thing. The bar is said,
Speaker 3: so low with a gift that she's already got. How
Speaker 3: they have to put any effort in it all?
Speaker 1: Yeah? There you go, a tribute to.
Speaker 2: Pats Can we have like a whole hour dedicated to
Speaker 2: Brian Adams and Ebba?
Speaker 3: No asking too much?
Speaker 1: We didn't even think about it or look at each
Speaker 1: other going should we do that? I'll be nice? No, No,
Speaker 1: you'll get another deflated blue and you carry on like
Speaker 1: this Tomorrow, Patsy, We're gonna we're gonna right this wrong.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, okay.
Speaker 1: In the meantime, lame work gifts. I bet you've had

Speaker 1: way the world said it shouldn't be?
Speaker 4: Not this?
Speaker 1: But it is? Has anyone got I don't know if
Speaker 1: we get anyone ringing in with anything. There's actually a sad,
Speaker 1: almost insulting to send someone. It feels like a threat,
Speaker 1: doesn't it. It feels like a threat. Have I got
Speaker 1: a deflated I'd look around like are they watching me
Speaker 1: right now? It's just from Eddie Maguire or fiefe Is.
Speaker 1: Someone said this is a warning, like a happy two
Speaker 1: years here pon me, but a deflated balloon like someone's
Speaker 1: going to ruin my past.

Speaker 1: What did you get?
Speaker 6: So I'm a primary school teacher and at the end
Speaker 6: of the year, when we're all exhausted, we look forward
Speaker 6: to our interview Christmas gifts from colleagues. This year we
Speaker 6: had or one year several years ago, we had a
Speaker 6: budget of about twenty five dollars a person, and my
Speaker 6: anonymous gift was a set of baby pink plastic measuring
Speaker 6: cups from the shop.
Speaker 1: That's a couple of bucks, top surely.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, absolutely, I'm still scarred.
Speaker 1: See, I still think all of this is above what person.
Speaker 3: Even though they're cheap something yefu.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're always looking for them when you need to
Speaker 1: measure out half.
Speaker 2: A couple or lasts like two days.
Speaker 1: Top. Well, that's it. If you inflate at the moment,
Speaker 1: it's just like they're crying empty. Peter, Good morning, Peter,
Speaker 1: Good morning Peter.
Speaker 5: Yeah, hiiight, Chris young Jack, that's there.
Speaker 1: You go, Yeah, we're good, Peter. What's the lean work gift?
Speaker 4: The lines work gift I got? I worked at a
Speaker 4: dairy and one year they gave us a box of
Speaker 4: out of date products.
Speaker 1: It's a dairy. You could go and get current dated
Speaker 1: stuff from the dairy.
Speaker 3: Shocking, it would still be a cheap gift if it
Speaker 3: was in date.
Speaker 4: No I was there. I think they just didn't want
Speaker 4: to play for the rubbish that week.
Speaker 3: How far out of day was a pitter? Could you
Speaker 3: eat it?
Speaker 4: Technically you probably could have. It was probably a week
Speaker 4: a week or two hour day.
Speaker 1: A lumpy, lumpy milk. That's amazing. I think that might
Speaker 1: be worse than the deflation for looton. Actually, Peter, that's
Speaker 1: a great call. Have a good day, mate, Thank you
Speaker 1: very much.
Speaker 4: True Christian.
Speaker 1: Christian O'Connell Show Podcast two. Last calls about lame work gifts. Katrina,

Speaker 1: technical bombers. Dean, welcome to the show. Buddy. What was
Speaker 1: your lame work gift? Well?
Speaker 7: I think I can beat Petsy. I did forty six
Speaker 7: years of service at one company, and the boss came
Speaker 7: up and said, oh, yeah, Dean's reached a milestone. Here
Speaker 7: have a chocolate Royal. Just a chocolate Royal, one chocolate
Speaker 7: roy not the whole packer, just one chocolate Royal, ru.
Speaker 1: Chocolate roy Wow. For forty six years fifty Yes.
Speaker 5: I was wondering about that.
Speaker 7: Who I was on on me way. I'll be forty
Speaker 7: seven this year. I'm still at the same company. He
Speaker 7: will be forty seven years and I just wonder what
Speaker 7: will I get for fifty years?
Speaker 1: And what do you do? Dean? What have you been
Speaker 1: doing for forty six years?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 7: I started off as a pal and then I moved
Speaker 7: up into the office. There's an estimator, so I look
Speaker 7: after sessers and sping like that.
Speaker 1: Insurance had a little bit vague for a job you've
Speaker 1: been doing for forty six years. Yeah, yeah, it's incredibly
Speaker 1: you don't really have, Dean. You don't really get people
Speaker 1: like you anymore where you have a job that long
Speaker 1: side of these days. Years ago, like my parents had
Speaker 1: a job for life. They just they just left school
Speaker 1: and they did that job. That's it. And they retired
Speaker 1: with a clock or a watch. Well that's what you've got,
Speaker 1: which now you don't really have that kind of lord
Speaker 1: because you get spat out by the machine. And that's
Speaker 1: incredible number, just a number of my friend, this is.
Speaker 3: The number is one biscuit.
Speaker 1: Right, that's the meaning of life. A Christian O'Connell show
